First road bike in many, many years - just picked it up today and have just fitted SPDs whilst enjoying a large single malt. Grand!

That is very nice.

Here's mine that I am spending way too many hours on.

I thank you Sir! Sorry for the awful pic, but it's a glossy, metallic green colour - I'm told it's a recent respray. The day after I agreed to buy it, I was following a scrappy's van with TWO Jo Waugh bike frames in the back along with all the broken hoovers, old gas fires etc ๐Ÿ˜ก

From the skinny tubes I take it is steel.

Also very nice Neils, and worth spending time on! Yes it's steel, and I only night ride on the MTB.

Save some weight by losing the torch from the downtube then...

Oh, velly funny, I see now! That's another retro item - a Courtenay Solaflash head which I've just bodged a bracket onto with a big drill, to make it compatible with modern lightstands. My life is SO rock and roll.
